And that's what exactly financial analysts say: "What Hoya should do from now is build on Pentax's strengths in endoscopes, SLR cameras and optical devices,'' Hisashi Moriyama, a Tokyo-based analyst with JP Morgan Securities Co., said by telephone. "Hoya should have no problem raising Pentax's profitability with its existing products.''

The K100D and K10D did better than many thought they would. And I agree if Hoya threw some more money behind them it might actually HELP Pentax. They might become a serious player. Or maybe they will just go for the medical stuff but not interfere with the camera division. Although I sort of hope they interfere in R&D and marketing. Well, production too, be nice if those lenses on the roadmap got out there sooner rather than later. Anyway, there is really no reason for them to axe them now when they are doing well. Down the road it might become a different story, but that could still go either way, up or down.
